Thessaly Death Match

Lore

"The heavens trembled, the sun and the moon grew dark and the stars lost their brightness. Warriors bathe in the blood of their kin. Battle cries echoed all over Thessaly as the sun dipped below the horizon. The fleeting colors of dusk faded away like the souls of the warriors who died in vain; their divine weapons and golden armors turned into crimson relics."

Everything went in accordance with Lemulia’s cunning tricks and evil plans. First, she restored the cursed island of Thessaly where the gods once clashed and then framed a tournament with a tempting reward- the mythical Box of Infinity. She announced that whoever opens the box will have an everlasting life and a power strong enough to challenge cosmic beings. Unfortunately, the trick was successfull, as it lured the mightiest warriors of the land. The promise of immortality and godlike power was so strong that they turned against each other, beheaded their own masters, and slaughtered their own brothers. This time, no one saw past Lemulia’s veil of deception. Not a single person caught the wicked smirk on her face as she covertly collected the souls of the fallen.

The first warriors who rose triumphantly were indeed rewarded with Infinity’s Box. It gave them sacred armors and celestial weapons with unparalleled strength. Sadly, they did not have the faintest idea that those items were actually infused with Lemulia’s lust for blood. Once worn, the bearer’s thirst for blood and battle would be uncontainable compelling them to join the death match over and over again until their very last breath.

The evil sorceress was successful in her plot. The event became known to all men and was later on dubbed the “Thessaly Death Match”. For many years, Lemulia collected the souls of the Thessalian fighters who died in the tournament. Until one day, with the help of Antonias, a foolish lord blinded by ambition, the sorceress was able to harness enough souls to break the Seal of Entramu, unleashing a powerful entity of darkness, Kundun.

The Ancient Devil now walks amongst the living, defiling the land with his touch. Lemulia’s evil intents did not end there, as she continued to collect souls from power-hungry warriors. Later on, she resurrected a demigod named Aeolus to watch over Thessaly and ensure that only those with formidable souls may enter the battlefield.

General Information

The bloodstained tournament, Thessaly Death Match (TDM) takes place every Saturday at 5:05pm GMT+3, few minutes after the regular Castle Siege time. Fearless warriors who would like to take part in the bloodshed can either use the command /jointdm or visit the new NPC, Guardian Aeolus near the vault in Devias. A minimum of ten particpants are required in order for the event to commence. Otherwise, the event will not start and will be cancelled.

Five minutes after the initial announcement, players who have accepted the invitation will be teleported automatically to the battlefield where they will be divided into two equal teams. The distribution of the participants is based primarily on the following factors: character classes, player statistics, and TDM level.

• Character Classes - For instance, if four High Elves joined the event, each team will have two elves fighting along their side. In cases where the number of participants of a particular class is an odd number or not divisible by 2 such as 3, 5 or 7, the remainder will be distributed randomly.

• Player Statistics - The minimum requirement for all statistics is 32,000. Hence, strength, agility, vitality, energy and command (DL) must not be lower than 32,000 for a player to qualify in the death match. Same rule of equal distribution applies in events where there are participants whose stats are not maxed out to 32,767.

• TDM Level - This refers to the number of victories a participant has accumulated over time. It’s like the expert level of an avid TDM participant. TDM level and website ranking reset in accordance with the IMES event.

There is no limit to how many players can join. Thus, there may be instances where the teams have unequal number of members. For example, if 31 players registered, one team will have 15 members and the other will have 16. The latter may seem to have an advantage, because they have more members, but actually, this also means that the former has more players to kill so they can have more points.

Mechanics

The opposing teams, Red Team and Blue Team will have a designated respawn coordinates: 111 116 for the Red Team and 124 167 for the Blue Team. Each team’s objective is to gain as many kills as possible, as it will be the basis of which team will rise victorious at the end of the match.

Players’ kills and deaths will be tallied and displayed in the TDM Ranking on the website as follows:

Name	Class	Wins	Losses	TDM Level
RESiSTANT	Blade Master	30	10	5
Toby	Grand Master	22	30	4

Wins refer to the total number of kills that the participant was able to accumulate, while losses refer to how many times he died in all of his matches. By the end of the season, the top players will get IMES points equivalent to the difference of their wins and losses. In the example above, RESiSTANT will get 20 IMES points, as it is the difference between his wins (30) and his losses (10). On the other hand, since Toby losses are more than his wins, instead of getting a negative value, his IMES points will be based on his TDM level so he will get 4 IMES points.
